Ace Hotel Kyoto stands at a crossroads of ancient artistry and contemporary cool.
Crafted in genuine dialogue with Kyoto’s historical and future legends, this boutique gem is guided by an East-meets-West philosophy, from the building’s interiors to its three distinct restaurants, each one helmed by a venerated American chef. There’s also Japan’s first Stumptown Coffee Roasters outpost and a verdant courtyard garden.
We’re in central Kyoto, a direct connection to Karasuma Oike Station South, which means after you’ve explored one of the best places to stay in the city you can catch the train to just about anywhere.
East meets West in a celebration of Kyoto’s legacy of craft and beautiful, functional design.

Restaurant
Kosa
Food from farmers, natural wines and an earnest understanding that everything we serve is the product of many hands. Kōsa’s kitchen is led by Chef Katy Cole of Tokyo’s beloved 20-seat bistro Locale. Intuitive, sensitive to season and inspired by the sublime ingredients selected from her deep network of regional producers, Chef Katy draws inspiration for our Californian Kyoto cuisine from the weekly harvest.
We’re open for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner seven nights a week. Reservations are recommended.
Piopiko
Convivial and spanning to late night, PIOPIKO serves inventive, artful takes on the classic Mexican-American taco, tostadas and other fare. Using seasonal produce, prime meats and seafood, the restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in the hyper-local, coaxing Alta California cuisine from the ingredients at hand.
